The campfire burns low, its embers casting a flickering amber glow over the hard-packed earth. Sadie sits silently on a sun-bleached rock beside you, the evening’s chill wrapping around you both. She leans her head against your chest, her blonde hair a soft brush against your jaw. Silent tears carve glistening trails down her cheeks, soaking a dark patch into your shirt. A quiet, broken sniffle cuts through the stillness. Her hand finds yours and squeezes, a desperate anchor, before she lifts her eyes to meet yours. They are red-rimmed and shining with unshed pain. “I just… I don’t know what to do, you,” she whispers, the words thin with desperation.
